against Sheriff Lloyd, this time in Justice
Dingevon's court. for the recovery of the
horse OF which he was dispossessed by the
Sheriff on attachment proceedings by Cap

that the alleged sale by Frink to Donitz
was clouded by suspicious circumstances
which laid a shadow of doubt upon the
validity of the transaction and threw his
case out OF court. Mr.. Donirz now brings
the case in another court aud lays the

bolt, and Messrs. Mcbride e. Haldorn for
the defendant. St. Ange claimed that the
lease had been verbally cancelled. He

from James Talbot OF this city, SO that he
is not owner in fact, but has possession
and regards himself to all intents and pur.
poses as the owner and the reservoir as his
property. Theevidence introduced showed
that the fire was started at about 8 O'Clock
IN the morning, and was not ~extinguished
until the next day. 1t was seen by several
neighbors who did not interfere with it. St..
Ange testified that he saw it that day from
the Bell smelter, and that ON reaching his
ranch and finding that his reservoir vas

and with a man named Perrault extin-
guished it. The water was low in it and left
about six feet OF woodwork exposed, which
burned very slowly. He then came in to
town and had Lambott arrested, but the
charge OF arson did not hold against him.
The charge at present being tried is made
on the ground that the lease has not been
cancelled, and that St. Ange took this
method OF getting rid of the ~lessees. The i'll
feeling that has existed between the defend
ant and his neighbours has been ventilated a
good many times in the Justice Courts.
One OF the prosecutions witnesses, Swazey,
swore positively hat he saw St. Ange set

ton could

why he sbad not so testified at the trial of
Lambott. He had not tried to put out the
fire and had not told Lambott or any one
else at that time. The only reason be
could give why he had preserved silence
then was that it was not his reservoir. |
For the defense four witnesses swore that 1
the Ere could not have been st ,rted before |
3 O'Clock in the afternoon, as they were |
working in the vicinity and neither saw nor
any smoke. The testimony further
that complainant, Lambott, had
out and stood looking at the exer.
OF the defendant to put out the fire

rHE WEIGHT or HOGS.


rhs Most Profitable way Of Patching
Porkers for larkst.
Any one who will visit the stock
yards when large numbers Of hogs are
being received will notice a great
difference in the size Of those marketed
now. compared with what we're to be
seen some years ago. Then the course
followed quite generally was to keep
on feeding hogs until they reached .
weight Of from four hundred to five
hundred pounds, which nccessitatcd
keeping them through two winters.
This manner Of feeding for market was
less profitable. TO be sure, than that
followed now. when comparatively
few hogs weigh over three hundred
pounds. but il took farmers some time
TO fully comprehend how much better
In eve,y way II was to crowd the
swine BY full feeding from birth, 50
that they would reach three hundred
pounds weight when a year old.
When they came 70 realize the adj
vantagcs OF the earlier maturing
system, old-timc methods were aban-
doned, and now very few hogs are kept
I'll they reach four hundred pounds.
Those that weigh from two hundred
and fifty to three hundred pounds sell
as readily and At as good prices as
those weighing more, and these
Weights may be made by the time the
hog is ten 10 twelve months old.
This plan is In marked contrast to that
followed before when pigs were kept
along on q light ration the first winter.
and often had not made a weight Of
over sixty TO seventy pounds when
they were eight TO ten month sold. The
farmer had not then calculated the
cost Of feeding ms he has done since.
His idea was simply to keep the pigs
until they had reached a certain size
and then put them up to fattcn. Often
the expense Of this was nearly or quite
what II would have been to feed them
IN such a way as to reach a marketable
size at about the same age. The qucs.
ton Of feeding Is better understood
now among farmers than It was In
those years. They now know that II
takes less food to- put a pound
on a pig two months old than on on
double that age, and less to put weight
on pig that weighsonc hundred pounds
than one that weight two hundred
pounds. The youngcr the animal the les
